Media EvaluationQuestion 4 - 5
In this PowerPoint I will explain the following:
1.Who would be the audience for your media product?
2.How did you attract/address your audience?
When first planning my music magazine I wanted to create a magazine with
the intentions that someone my age would want to read it. I used
bands that all aim towards the same genre of music
which is the “Indie” Music culture. My magazine is mostly aimed towards
festival crowds, I have tried to appeal to this
demographic by including band names on the front of my magazine that could be performing at festivals and also using the image of a young girl that you may
find at one of these festivals
I have used various band names on the front of my
magazine, in doing so I am aiming at the Fans of this form of music, I have used
the names of bands who are all categorized as Indie
music to make it clear what the genre of my magazine is. When a potential reader sees
these bands names on the front of the magazine it tells
them that there is more about that topic inside the magazine and attracts the
fans of the indie music culture.
The main demographic that I was having in mind when creating my magazine is middle class and those
aspiring to middle class, the colour schemes and font I have chosen attract a more
intellectual and mature audience of readers to the
magazine.
I have chosen the image of a teenage girl on the front of my magazine,
this implements the idea of the male gaze for this age group who are the prime readers to my
magazine. Her flowery dress represents the fashion of the festival goers along with the
spike through her ear and the stud on her noes, these show the fashion of the youth and the indie
music culture. All of these work to attracting
the correct age range and demographic of
readers.
During my double page spread interview there was a part where we took the
publics question to ask the person we were
interviewing, this engages the audience and shows
them that they can connect with us and have a part in the magazine. If further issues of this magazine where to come out they would probably do it via
Twitter, Facebook and they would have a website you
are able to do it from, having all of these media
platforms we are engaging the media generation of
the youth.
I have chosen the image of a girl smiling in the woods with a flowery
dress on as it brings a sense of a feel good
factor to its audience, the clothing and setting could signify a change in season, many people like
to see summery stuff after a long winter. By putting this happy girl
on the front of the magazine, its saying to the audience that if you
pick up and read this magazine you will be as happy as the girl on the front of the image, this
should attract more readers into reading my
magazine
